Clinical Physiology of Acid-Base and Electrolyte Disorders (2001) Burton David Rose

Description

The fifth edition has been largely rewritten to include the many important advances and controversies in the past six years. This book integrates the essentials of renal and electrolyte physiology with the common clinical disorders of acid-base and electrolyte balance. Its underlying premise is that these clinical disturbances are best approached from an understanding of basic physiologic principles. The initial chapters review normal renal function, hormonal effects, and the regulation of volume, water, acid-base, and potassium balance, serving as foundational material for both clinicians and first-year medical students.
